Hawaiʻi CC assistant professor to study in India

Pamela Y. Scheffler, assistant professor of geography at Hawaiʻi Community College, was awarded a Fulbright scholar grant to conduct research at the Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment during the 2012–2013 academic year. Scheffler will be studying under an environmental leadership grant from the Fulbright Nehru Program.

During her time as a Fulbright scholar, Scheffler will conduct a nine-month study of biodiversity patterns in a range of agricultural and agroforestry systems in South India. She will be living in Banglaore, Karnataka with her family from August 2012–May 2013. She is excited about the opportunity to work with novel agroforestry systems and bring this knowledge back to her Hawaiʻi CC students.
